3090Ti keeps crashing

[BlckPlague]

I am at a total loss and desperately need help. Also, I apologize for the long read I just wanted make sure all the details are there.

 

A few months ago I built my dream machine so, I can do college work and game. I finally had sometime to play Star Wars Squadrons after submitting a last minute homework assignment. Everything was fine and perfect playing on a tipple 2k monitor setup with all the settings maxed out. A few hours in and the screens went black and the game closed and I was sent back to my home screen. After some troubleshooting and restarting the game several times, I noticed that my GPU fans weren't spinning, and all my case fans were spinning on the lowest setting. I open L-Connect 3 the Lian Li fan control app, and it asked permission to run in administrator. It normally does this when I first log in but, I guess it got miss. So, my fans and temp monitors have been practically off for hours. Once L-Connect is up I see GPU and CPU temps up are near 190 degrees Fahrenheit. I immediately shut everything off, get my case open and get a fan trying to cool down my board. The next day inspected the hardware and no visible damage. I boot up my system and start L-Connect right away and make sure all fans are maxed out. Everything looks good and runs okay nothing crazy. My GPU fans were still not spinning. After some googling I realized I needed to download EVGA Precision X1 app and NVIDIA GeForce Experience. Set my GPU fans to max speed and checked all of my temps and task manager before starting back on Squadrons. Everything fine until the game actually gets going. Load screens, cinematics, and walking around the hanger no problem, the second I begin to fly, screens flicker to black half a second and I am back the home screen and the game is closes. Monitoring task manager I see that my GPU is spiking and staying at near 100% Utilization, even when idle with only task manager open it would stay at 70%. I tried everything from updating drivers, uninstalling, reinstalling, using all 3 GPU programs to overclock and restore factory settings. I finally got it to were my idle is normal but, still the second I launch a youtube video or start a game it spikes to 80 or 90 percent. Squadrons is completely unplayable and even Doom Eternal is getting pinned to 30FPS. I am getting desperate and have no were else to turn, and I would really appreciate any solutions. I don't have any crazy overclocks, just my Ram speed set to 3000. For some reason I can't boot with XMP enable but, I was able to do a small tune bringing it up to 3000. I planned doing some more serious tuning once this semester is over and I have the time to test and tune. For right now I am mostly worried about my current situation with my GPU and my course work.

run malwarebytes in safe mode, there are some crypto trojans that use up all your gpu

Just following up. I uninstalled and reinstalled everything. I then tried moving my p.c. so it has its own outlet, it no longer shares a power strip with monitors and speakers. I also tried booting in safe mode and running Malwarebytes. My issue was mostly in Star War Squadron, and I could get Doom Eternal to run at 30FPS. After moving and doing everything all my other games ran fine except Squadrons was still crashing. I finally found the issue was volumetric graphics setting in game, this setting is for the visualization of fogs, clouds and gases. The Yavin mission is what kept crashing so hard. Yavin is a red gas giant and the level design represents that appropriately and leans heavily on volumetric graphic settings. Once I changed the volumetric from ultra to medium, everything runs perfectly now. I think the main problem was I got my old Logitech G19 keyboard out which has to be plugged in to run its mini display on the keyboard. That then caused too much power draw from that single power strip. I had my PC, 3 monitors, 55in Tv, Xbox, speakers, wifi modem, and keyboard running on that one strip. With the PC running a 3090ti and i9-12900kf it would throttle due power constraints. Moving it to its own outlet resolved a ton of my issues.
